How to Use a Tailscale Authentication Code on Your Phone

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Install the Tailscale App • Download and install the Tailscale app from the App Store (for iOS) or Google Play Store (for Android) or tailscale.com for computers.

  2. Open the Tailscale App • Once you’ve installed it, open the Tailscale app on your phone.

  3. Enter the Authentication Code which you ask me for. • Instead of signing in with your email or SSO, look for an option to enter an authentication code. This option might be labeled Already have an auth key?” or found in the advanced settings.

  4. Paste the Auth Code • Paste or type (probably not!) in the authentication code I provide. • This will authenticate your device and add it to my WAL Tailscale network.

  5. Complete the Setup • After entering the code, your phone will be connected to the Tailscale network. You should now see it listed among the connected devices.

  6. Then use your RDP app to join the server i.p. I provide.

  7. What this does is secure (encrypt) your connection across the wider internet, from anywhere.
